What is happening right now with the Planned Parenthood videos is a “William Wilberforce moment” in our culture. Wilberforce was the Christian man who looked into his Bible, saw that racism and slavery were evil reverse-images of the gospel, and dedicated his life to accomplishing what seemed culturally and politically impossible in late-1700’s Great Britain: the abolition of the slave trade. In a decisive moment that now lives in history, Wilberforce once commanded the floor of British Parliament for over three hours doing nothing but reading gruesome horror-stories of the African slave trade to the men that politically protected its...

A federal judge late Friday granted a temporary restraining order against the release of recordings made at an annual meeting of abortion providers. The injunction is against the Center for Medical Progress, the group that has unveiled Planned Parenthood’s participation in the sale of organs harvested from aborted children.Judge William H. Orrick, III, granted the injunction just hours after the order was requested by the National Abortion Federation.Orrick was nominated to his position by hardline abortion supporter President Barack Obama. He was also a major donor to and bundler for President Obama’s presidential campaign. He raised at least $200,000 for...

"I don't think any politician is vulnerable who supports Planned Parenthood because Planned Parenthood is beloved and trusted." - Terry O'Neill, President of NOW On Now with Alex Wagner on Thursday, the President of the National Organization for Women was on briefly to discuss the scandal surrounding Planned Parenthood, and how it might affect Hillary Clinton's presidential aspirations. In the short time she was on screen, O'Neill managed to utter a surprising array of tone-deaf and highly-charged statements. In addition to the above quote, O'Neill elaborated that the organization is everywhere and all things, claiming that one in every...

In recent weeks we have seen the ugly truth of what a post-Christian America looks like. From the unveiling of a statue of Baphomet by Satanists in Detroit last weekend, to the release of multiple undercover videos of Planned Parenthood sorting through aborted babies and negotiating the sale of their parts, Americans have witnessed nothing less than the manifestation of pure evil in our time. Satan is indeed prowling about our country seeking the ruin of souls.In the midst of this moral depravity and horrific evil I recently came across Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical “Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus”. While it was...

Two days after the killing of Cecil the lion sparked a firestorm on social media, the United States government announced that it will investigate the death of the prized African creature.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said on Twitter Thursday that the government agency is currently “investigating” the killing of the lion, allegedly carried out by Minnesota dentist Dr. Walter Palmer.“We’re investigating the killing of #CecilTheLion. Will go where facts lead. We ask Dr. Palmer or his rep to contact USFWS immediately,” the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tweeted. “We share your concern about the issue surrounding #CeciltheLion and we’re...

Republican House Speaker John Boehner’s top health-care policy adviser is linked — by blood — to a figure at the heart of the Planned Parenthood baby part-selling scandal.

July 30, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - At the same time as a fourth video exposing Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting and selling aborted baby body parts was released Thursday morning, visitors who attempted to access Planned Parenthood's website were greeted with a message saying, "Our site is not available due to an attack by extremists."The stylish page announcing the attack complained that "200,000 people a day are now being blocked from information and care by this attack," and directed visitors who wanted to find out more to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund's Facebook page.Â On their Facebook page, the abortion giant...

The New York Times reported this week Â that the American Boy Scouts are ending a nationwide ban on gay leaders. According to the Times, the organization was seeking to resolve an issue that threatened to tear apart the organization and expose it to crippling lawsuits. Discrimination based on sexual orientation will also be barred in all Boy Scout offices and for all paid jobs. The step, the paper says, is aimed at heading off lawsuits in New York, Colorado and other states that prohibit such discrimination in employment.It's a pity, however, that the Times missed a shocking story which emerged...

The Good Book says, "...be sure your sin will find you out," and this is a lesson that the monsters at Planned Parenthood have been learning for the past three weeks. Caught on camera, these hideous harvesters of human life have been exposed to the whole world as the fiends they are, talking about "gentler" techniques for murdering babies so that they don't "crunch" the organs of tiny unborn children, so they can sell them for profits euphemistically disguised as "reimbursements." The fact that I could even write a sentence like that is definitive proof that America is infected with...

This week, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released it’s third video documenting Planned Parenthood’s participation in baby part harvesting. If you watch the video (you must watch the video,) be warned—it’s nauseating. I don’t give these kinds of warnings lightly.When CMP first launched its campaign against Planned Parenthood, conservatives in the Senate came together to draft legislation defunding Planned Parenthood and its affiliates. The team, headed up by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), today introduced S.1881, which includes three main objectives: Prohibiting federal funding for PPFA or any of its affiliate organizationsProtecting federal funding for health services for women (including...

Following the release of the second Planned Parenthood undercover video last week, Presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina joined Jake Tapper on The Lead. Tapper asked Fiorina to define her position on Governor Walker’s recent bill that prohibits abortions after twenty weeks and makes no exclusions for instances of rape and incest. Rather than taking the let’s connect Fiorina to what the left believes is an extremist pro-life position bait, Fiorina directed attention to a bill bouncing around the Senate floor, “let’s talk about the legislation that’s sitting on the Senate floor right now which does allow for those exceptions,” she responded.(video...

Sixty-three percent of registered voters oppose cutting off federal funds to Planned Parenthood, according to a new poll commissioned by the organization. The poll, conducted by the Democratic firm Hart Research Associates, finds that along with 63 percent of voters overall who oppose defunding Planned Parenthood, 68 percent of independents also oppose the move. The poll finds that a “bare majority” of 53 percent of Republicans favor defunding, while 34 percent oppose the move. The survey finds that voters are more likely to vote for a candidate who supports funding Planned Parenthood over one calling to end funding, by a...

This past week has been bizarre. First we heard from that the Obama Department of Justice was considering a probe of the : “In response to a request by House Democrats, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday afternoon that Justice would ‘review all of the information and determine what the appropriate steps moving forward would be.’” CMP founder David Daleiden wasn’t phased at this news, saying in a : “They will attack me and my organization all day long, but that does not change the facts about what our investigation has uncovered and what the American people now know—that Planned...

With Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf launching a review of Planned Parenthood, his own past and a recent cabinet appointment has put doubt on the integrity of the investigation.Wolf had begun taking steps to review the clinics as a result of undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing fetal organ harvesting and distribution, The Associated Press reported Friday. Just the day prior to Wolf’s announcement, he appointed a former Planned Parenthood executive as his chief of staff. To Michael Greer, president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, the timing is troubling.“It raises questions of the integrity of the investigation,” Greer told...

Fresh off the heels of the Center for Medical Progress releasing video of a former Planned Parenthood worker discussing organ harvesting is the possibly of a fourth video. This time it won’t be on the Internet, it will be in a Texas Senate committee. A spokesperson for Senator Charles Schwertner told The Texas Tribune state Attorney General investigators were the ones who were given the video. [[ Committee members and staffers are ]] currently reviewing the video and gathering all the relevant facts. The AG’s office isn’t saying where they got it, but Planned Parenthood’s Houston-area clinic thinks it was...

On Tuesday, a few hours after the release of the latest gruesome and shocking undercover video from the Center for Medical Progress, Organizing for Action, formerly Obama for America, tweeted their support for Planned Parenthood and, presumably, all the grotesque practices that entails. The group is the non-profit with the sole goal of supporting President Obama's policies and points of view. The only question left at this point is whether the President thinks Planned Parenthood is getting a good deal on their baby part sales. In case you missed, here is the price list: Let us know what you...

Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Ben Carson led conservatives in a rally against Planned Parenthood Tuesday, following the publication of three videos detailing the organization's sale of organs harvested from aborted fetuses. "Today the U.S. Department of Justice should open a criminal investigation into whether Planned Parenthood nationally is a criminal enterprise breaking the law," Cruz said on the lawn on the Capitol. But the Texas senator was skeptical this would happen, adding "the Obama Justice Department in acting as little more than a partisan arm of the Democratic National Committee." Cruz is backing Sen. Mike Lee's, R-Utah, attempt...

Reason magazine went out on a limb recently and published an article entitled “Privatizing Marriage Is a Terrible Idea,” by Shikha Dalmia. She presented an argument that is boldly counter-intuitive for many libertarians these days: that abolishing state-recognized marriage would increase government interference in our lives rather than reduce it. Dalmia is absolutely correct about this. And it would behoove anyone who truly stands for limited government to consider her points thoughtfully and soberly. The libertarian default position that goes by the slogan “let’s just get the government out of the marriage business” is short on substance. If it sounds...

SODUS, NY, July 27, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) -- Boys or girls who suffer from gender dysphoria must be allowed to use the bathrooms and change rooms of the opposite sex if they wish to do so, according to new guidance from the New York State Department of Education (NYDE).The document also clarifies that while schools can make â€śunisexâ€ť facilities available to such students, such facilities â€śshould never be forced upon students, nor presented as the only option." Furthermore, schools should generally accept any student's stated preferred gender without question.The advice is just one of the more controversial sections of the document,...

Americans have become so “non-judgmental” that many people can no longer tell the difference between good and evil. We congratulate ourselves for being “nicer,” more sensitive and less prejudiced than past generations of Americans, but we don’t stop to consider how much more there is to morality than that. An America that isn’t full of good people won’t remain a good nation, nor will it remain strong and free over the long haul. Our country’s lack of morality has real consequences that are capable of eventually sinking us as a nation. 1) The Collapse Of Marriage: There used to be...

A Colorado woman pleaded not guilty on Thursday to stabbing a pregnant stranger and cutting out her fetus after allegedly luring the victim to her home with an online ad for baby clothes, authorities said. Dynel Catrece Lane, 34, appeared in Boulder County court charged with attempted first-degree murder, felony assault and unlawful termination of a pregnancy in connection with the attack in March. Michelle Wilkins, who was seven-months pregnant, survived the assault in the town of Longmont, 30 miles north of Denver, but her unborn baby girl died. Lane entered the plea of not guilty through her lawyers, said...

For a website like AshleyMadison.com that prides itself on secrecy and anonymity, a breach like this can be catastrophic. The siteÂ’s subscribers pay to have access to other married people looking to have affairs. They all, presumably, felt that their private information was safe. Â“The quick answer is: not that safe,Â” says Dr. Michael Sulmeyer, the director of the Cyber Security Initiative at HarvardÂ’s John F. Kennedy School of GovernmentÂ’s Belfer Center.He says Ashley MadisonÂ’s clients know now the truth of the web: everything is hackable.Â“Largely, you should not have an expectation of ultimate security and privacy,Â” Sulmeyer explains. Â“And...

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 22, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - Planned Parenthood's legal counsel has responded to a Congressional investigation by hinting that future undercover footage may include the dissection and harvesting of an aborted baby.The doctor caught discussing organ sales over wine and salad will also not be made available for testimony as requested, the letter, addressed by Planned Parenthood'sÂ Senior Counsel for LawÂ andÂ Policy, Roger K. Evans, to theÂ House Energy and Commerce Committee, adds.Stone writes that, after the Center for Medical Progress released two videos following a 30-month-long investigation,Â the nation's largest abortion providerÂ is "deeply concerned about the infiltration of Planned Parenthood and its...

I have said that the proponents of the idea that a man can feasibly marry another man call their desire a trivial variation from a statistical norm, like being left-handed. I have shown that on the face of it that cannot be so, because the left-hander uses his hand as a hand, just as the right-hander uses his. But now suppose that the proponent concedes the point. â€śAll right, I grant that it is not the same at all. But so what? We are just like everybody else in all important respects.â€ťThe first answer to that is that the proponent...

SYDNEY, Australia, July 20, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) â€“ A major study funded by the Australian government has found that homosexuals are less personally fulfilled, have more health problems, and are not as happy in their relationships as "straight" people.In fact, the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) surveys reveal a marked difference in people's experiences based on their sexual identity.Â Participants are followed over time, and in-depth interviews are conducted annually with all adult members of each household.Â For the first time in the study's 12-year history, respondents' sexual identity was researched as it relates to life satisfaction. The results were...

July 21, 2015 (BreakPoint) -- A few weeks ago, I told you that the Supreme Courtâ€™s decision inÂ Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage, had placed our culture on a well-greased slope. All that was lacking, I said, was for someone to give it a push.Well, the pushing has begun in earnest.Earlier this month, the Washington, D.C., City Council held hearings on the â€śDeath With Dignity Act,â€ť which was introduced by Council member Mary Cheh. Despite the positive-sounding title, the bill would make assisted suicide legal in the nationâ€™s capital.Under the bill, a person with a terminal diagnosis of six...

A woman who recently made Pennsylvania history will share her story next month at a York County celebration of civil rights and the LGBT community. The organizers of York's second annual Equality Fest, scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 2, have booked Pennsylvania Physician General Rachel Levine, a transgender woman who's achieved the highest rank in state history for transgender people in government roles. State Rep. Kevin Schreiber, D-York City, confirmed Monday that Levine has accepted the Equality Fest invitation. Schreiber said Levine's story about being a transgender woman is relevant to the next phase of fighting for equal rights. A new...

Now that the FemiNazis have bullied* men into buying their crap; what could go wrong?Ah yes, feminism: it’s come to this, oh yes it has: As I write this, my children are asleep in their room, Loretta Lynn is on the stereo, and my wife is out on a date with a man named Paulo. It’s her second date this week; her fourth this month so far. If it goes like the others, she’ll come home in the middle of the night, crawl into bed beside me, and tell me all about how she and Paulo had sex. I won’t...

If Kermit Gosnell and Margaret Sanger had a love child, it might be Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s Senior Director of Medical Services, who, in an undercover video released Tuesday, appears to be calmly brokering the sale of body parts as if she were negotiating over lawn furniture at a garage sale. In one disturbing video and its appalling transcript, made by the non-profit group Center for Medical Progress, which describes itself as “dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances”, it is made clear that the alleged noble crusade against unwanted children is a fraud, and that...

July 15, 2015 (AlbertMohler) -- Yesterdayâ€™s release of aÂ videoÂ showing the senior medical director of Planned Parenthood casually discussing the sale of organs from aborted babies is a moral challenge thrown right in the face of all Americans.The video reveals Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services for Planned Parenthood, discussing the intentional harvesting of organs and other tissues from babies aborted in Planned Parenthood clinics. While reaching with her fork for salad, Dr. Nucatola openly tells a group she believes to be medical researchers that there is a great demand for fetal livers, but â€śa lot of people want...

Scott Walker stumbled over his own prior comments Wednesday, saying that when he called on the Boy Scouts to reinstate a ban on gay leaders because it “protected children,” he meant the ban protected them from media scrutiny. “The protection was not a physical protection,” Walker said Wednesday at an event in South Carolina, according to The New York Times. Rather, the Wisconsin governor continued, he was referring to “protecting them from being involved in the very thing you’re talking about right now, the political and media discussion about it, instead of just focusing on what Scouts is about, which...

IRVING, Texas, July 15, 2014 (LifeSiteNews) â€“ The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) have changed their longstanding policy and will now allow openly homosexual troop leaders.Their executive committee unanimously passed a resolution to lift a ban on gay and bisexual adult leaders, it was announced this week. The resolution, passed by a committee of 17, will become official Boy Scout policy if ratified by the National Executive Board on July 27.Â The Boy Scouts have been moving toward endorsing homosexuality for years.Â In 2013, the national council voted to allow openly homosexual youths â€“ boys and young men identifying as gay...

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 14, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) â€“ Commentators have described a new video showing a leading Planned Parenthood official admitting that abortionists sell aborted babies' body parts â€śgruesomeâ€ť and â€śdisturbing.â€ť But Planned Parenthood describes its side business in a different way: as a â€śhumanitarian undertaking."The nation's largest abortion provider has responded to a viral undercover video showing Dr. Deborah Nucatola released this morning by saying that its human organ trafficking â€śholds the potential to cure disease, save lives, and ameliorate suffering.â€ťEric Ferraro, the vice president of communications for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, admitted in a statement today that â€śwe...

It is not clear this will hurt him in the primary campaign, but it should be a red flag to supporters and advisors when Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker winds up simultaneously saying he supports his wife's cousin's gay marriage and he wants a constitutional amendment to allow states to ban gay marriage. In a revealing interview with ABC News, this ensued: "I love them, so I support them" Walker said of his wife Tonette's cousin and her partner. "Loves gotta be the focus of everything we do with our family and our close friends," Walker told [ABC News David] Muir......

The biggest question hanging over Walker's presidential campaign is whether the political strategy that got him this far can work at the next level. "I'm pro-life," Scott Walker said, looking directly into the camera. "But there's no doubt in my mind the decision of whether or not to end a pregnancy is an agonizing one. That's why I support legislation to increase safety and to provide more information for a woman considering her options. The bill leaves the final decision to a woman and her doctor." That was last October, less than a month before Election Day, when the Wisconsin...

Considering the direction society has taken in the last 30 daysâ€”or should I say the direction that five members of the United States Supreme Court are dragging usâ€”perhaps it is time to do some thinking.Opining about the U. S. Supreme Courtâ€™s decision on homosexual â€śmarriage,â€ť Alabamaâ€™s Chief Justice Ray Moore said the decision was worse than the decision to uphold segregation because â€śit affects our entire system of morality and family values.â€ťÂ At the time of the Plessy v. Ferguson decision, it was likely that morality and family values were assailed as well, though perhaps to a different degree. Nonetheless, Moore...

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 9, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) â€“ After the Supreme Court's ruling that same-sex â€śmarriageâ€ť is a constitutionally guaranteed right, many Americans have asked, â€śHow did we get here?â€ť Last month's opinion tells us the road stretches back more than 50 years.Justice Anthony Kennedy's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges gave additional proof that the legal basis for same-sex â€śmarriageâ€ť is inextricably tied up with abortion-on-demand and other aspects of the sexual revolution.In his 5-4 decision, Justice Kennedy says the newly discovered constitutional right to enter into a homosexual â€śmarriageâ€ť is granted, in part, by the â€śright to privacy.â€ťThat right, first...

RUSH: Have you heard this? By the way, it's true. It is being said that gay marriage is superior to heterosexual marriage. I can't believe we're even using language that signifies the difference, but, anyways, we have to. The militant gay community says that gay marriage is superior because they get to pick their children via adoption. Therefore, they -- having chosen the exact kind of child they want-- have a much better chance at raising that child than a hetero couple who simply have to deal with whatever the sperm and the egg produce. Do not doubt me on...

July 8, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) -- Kenyan National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi and four other legislators have warned US President Barack Obama against promoting homosexual "rights" in his visit to the country this month.â€śIndividual rights must not violate the rights of others,â€ť Muturi said. â€śThose advancing gay rights must similarly appreciate our Christian, Islamic and African traditional values which abhor homosexuality.â€ťPointing out that sodomy is a criminal offence in Kenya, Muturi said his government has the right to â€śsanction any advances perceived to encroach on our social fabricâ€ť and that he believes advocacy of same-sex "marriage" is a form of Western...

I believe in the “dead-end rule.” This rule states that if you go down a dead-end road and ignore the signs that say it is a dead-end, you will soon learn by personal experience that it is a dead-end. I have invoked this rule many times in my worldwide teaching and preaching against abortion. For millennia, the church – and many others too – have been holding up the signs saying that abortion is a dead-end. Those individuals, families, and nations that have ignored these signs are now reaping the fruit of the bitter experience that abortion does not solve...

Join the Movement â€“ Help us Oppose Physician Assisted Suicide Msgr. Charles Pope â€˘ July 8, 2015 â€˘ 1 Comment Here in Washington D.C., the City CouncilÂ has before it a bill modeled after OregonÂ’s physician-assisted suicide law. Listed as the Â“Death with Dignity Act of 2015,Â” a public hearing will take place this Friday, July 10thÂ at 11:00 AM in the District building.Experience thus far with legalized assisted suicide should alarm anyoneÂ who looks seriously into how it has played out. The Â“safeguardsÂ”Â of the OregonÂ law, so highly praised by its supporters, seem to be mere window dressings than actual safeguards. In Oregon,...

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 7, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) â€“ The freedom of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment applies only to churches, not to individuals, a U.S. senator said on national television recently.Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-WI â€“ the nation's first openly lesbian elected to the U.S. Senate â€“ addressed the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision on June 27 on MSNBC's Up with Steve Kornacki."Should the bakery have to bake the cake for the gay couple getting married?â€ť the host asked. â€śWhere do you come down on that?"Baldwin responded that the First Amendment gave Americans no right to exercise religion outside the...

TORONTO, July 7, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) -- As Ontarioâ€™s Ministry of Health plans measures to reduce the wait time for publicly funded sex-reassignment surgery (SRS), a well-regarded Toronto-based psychiatrist says the rush to provide these procedures is â€śabsurdâ€ť and the push to increase their availability politically motivated.Citing an unnamed source â€śclose toâ€ť Health Minister Eric Hoskins, Torontoâ€™s Globe and Mail claimed on June 25, a day before the Torontoâ€™s â€śTrans*Pride Marchâ€ť parade, that the ministry will increase the number of sites that can approve sex-reassignment surgeries, but it is â€śtoo early to tell where these will be.â€ťRight now, only the Toronto-based...

Kinky Trojans — a new student organization at the University of Southern California (USC) for students who practice BDSM sex — has been widely celebrated despite its founding in the wake of a free speech controversy on campus surrounding the school’s removal of “pro-life” banners put up by USC’s Students For Life group. After the international success of the erotic novel “Fifty Shades of Grey,” students on many campuses nationwide initiated student-run extracurricular clubs for students who felt marginalized for their preference in sexual practices — specifically bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, sadism/masochism (BDSM).

At first glance, it sounds nice to say we should “get government out of the marriage business.” Marriage, as far as the state is concerned, would be merely a private relationship contract, with no reference to the lasting features of natural marriage between a man and woman, and its connection to the bearing and raising of children. Many libertarians, including Rand Paul, and now even some conservatives, claim that this will solve the same-sex marriage controversy. Few understand the logical implications of their argument. There are at least seven reasons why “marriage privatization,” if really achieved, would profoundly harm citizens...

July 6, 2015 (BreakPoint) -- Both before and after the Supreme Courtâ€™s ruling inÂ Obergefell v. Hodges, some Christians argued that allowing same-sex couples to marry is not inconsistent with traditional Christian teaching on marriage.At the heart of these arguments is the assertion that same-sex relationships are, to borrow a phrase from gay writer Andrew Sullivan, â€śvirtually normal.â€ť That is, same-sex relationships are, with one very obvious exception, not all that different from traditional marriages. Thus, just as the Supreme Court held that similarly-situated couples should be treated equally under law, similarly-situated couples should be treated equally in our churches.The problem...

AUCKLAND, NZ,Â July 3, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) â€“ Every girl in New Zealand will be put on long-acting reversible contraceptive drugs, delivered through implants or patches, before they become sexually active, if a group of health researchers at New Zealand's Otago University gets its way.Â "I would imagine, off the top of my head, that it would happen a bit like vaccinations happen," Neil Pickering, a senior bioethics lecturer at the university, told Radio New Zealand report. â€śIt would be a routine thing, and being done through schools would be an obvious way.â€ťHelen Paterson, of the University of Otago's department of women's and...

This is a tough Vortex to speak. I’m as patriotic as the next guy. I remember being a young lad of 15 as my country celebrated its bicentennial back in 1976. I watched TV that day from six in the morning until well past midnight as the non-stop, commercial-free, wall-to-wall coverage on the giant national birthday party was broadcast from sea to shining sea. I watched the tall ships sail into New York harbor, saw the explosive fireworks show over D.C. I listened and sang my lungs out with a lump in my throat as Arthur Fielder conducted the Boston...

July 2, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - An unusual request from a major donor to a regional branch of the U.S. Girl Scouts has drawn attention to the organizationâ€™s ongoing support for gender ideology and transgender issues.Â Girl Scouts of Western Washington CEO Megan Ferland revealed last week that the council had recently received a donation for $100,000. However, after the Girl Scoutsâ€™ practice of allowing boys who identify as girls to join the Scouts hit the news during the mediaâ€™s coverage of the Bruce Jenner case, Ferland says she received a note from the donor putting a condition on the donation.â€śPlease guarantee...
